Rollermacka, but he's not on very often as he's too busy carving his path to stardom on impact.
Pretty sure Destor is Buck Zumhofe. Hasn't been able to use the prison computer lately. Probably got shanked.

Otis Dozovic is a weird pick for a singles tournament
The fact he's even in it probably doesn't bode well for Heavy Machinery's chances on making their main roster debut before the Rumble.
You're reading too much into it. He just likes to have fun.

There is this streaming tv app called PLUTO TV and they have an IMPACT channel and they just play IMPACT! shows and clips 24/7. I was watching the other day and it was enjoyable. It does though seem like nothing that happened there really matters in the world of wrestling even if it was good.
Dude I love Pluto TV.
They have a channel for kickboxing too and Todd Grisham does the play by play.

Odds on someone being offended and calling for a Rock boycott that will fail?
Mr. Nerfect
01-11-2019, 10:34 PM
He's gearing up for that soft Republican run. Don't agree with Rock at all. People who complain about people complaining are the biggest pussies of all. Usually it's just because they want an excuse to be racist, sexist or some sort of phobic. Fuck those people and they deserve to feel awful about being awful. And, conversely, if I think your politics, how you treat people and what you believe are shitty, I'm likely going to think you are a shit person and not associate.

How does everything always go back to sexist, racist, or phobic in modern times? I don't think the Rock is complaining here pretty sure he just answered a question. He's just being real and calling out people for wanting to be offended by everything.

Mr. Nerfect
01-11-2019, 11:51 PM
The Rock is making a bunch of people who feel insecure about their own behaviors and thoughts feel better by setting up the straw-man that other people are being overly sensitive. It's a tired trope of people who don't want to accept the reason people don't like them might just be because they're genuinely unpleasant. It's a great technique for getting mouth-breathers to vote for him if he decides to run, but I don't think it's going to fly with progressives and/or people who realize that every generation says this about every generation beneath them, and that maybe it's older people with their Hays Conventions and the like that might just be a bit more sensitive. If we're talking factually and historically.
Mr. Nerfect
01-12-2019, 12:02 AM
Anyway, it turns out the interview is not true anyway. The Rock came out on Instagram and said it's bullshit made up by the reporter and also coined the phrase "tequila generation" instead. I didn't think The Rock was as vapid a cunt as some of the mouth-breathers here on TPWW.

WWE have reportedly cancelled a SmackDown house show the night after the Royal Rumble due to "production issues." Do you think that this could be a euphemism for "didn't sell enough tickets?"
SmackDown house shows often suffer the most during roster splits. SmackDown as a show gets hammered creatively when they're not in one. It'll be interesting to see what, if any, changes WWE makes because of this.

It could be, but Raw and SmackDown are emanating from the same arena in Phoenix the Monday and Tuesday after the Rumble. I'm not sure what sense it really makes to have a crew set up a ring and shit in another city when the roster is going to have to go back to Phoenix anyway.

Really love this match and it's probably one of the best examples I've seen of comedy in wrestling being done right. I can understand complaints about Joey Ryan's dick, Chuck Taylor's grenade, Priscilla Kelly's tampon or whatever else...but this is just two goofballs having a fun little match without doing anything too ridiculous, and the crowd is into it.

Noid, there are absolutely troglidites on the opposite end of outrage culture who, as you say, use it as an excuse for their prejudices, or to look "hard" on the internet.
That doesn't mean there isn't a large group of extremists who have pushed the noble cause of tolerance and equality so far past the point of reason that it is eating itself. They're literally hurting their own causes. Not that they likely care that much. A lot of them are blatantly transparent. Just a bunch of uninteresting people using actually cultural and societal problems to make themselves seem interesting.
Meanwhile there are those of us who want all that tolerance and equality, without losing ourselves to the crusade of achieving it. I mean, I don't know what it's like where you're from, but here we get headlines like an RA at Pitzer college sending out an email stating it was unacceptable for caucasions to wear hoop earings as it's "culturally offensive". Or a Seattle councilman expressing concern that hosing down some filthy sidewalks that smelled of excrement might be insensitive “because it brought back images of the use of hoses against civil-rights activists.” Or a private college in New York deeming larger size chairs a "microaggression", that shames fat people. These are just a few examples but there are literally hundreds of headlines like this, across the country every week.
At the end of the day, people need to chill out and just treat everyone else how they would like to be treated regardless of skin color, gender, nationality, etc., without losing our god damn sense of humor.

I’m sorry, but this line always comes off as obtuse to me. Like, what do your first paragraphs even mean? It sounds like an excuse to be an asshole because you don’t like the people making valid points? I don’t understand the whole “Oh, I don’t like racism, but these people who protest racism really piss me off so they are to blame for racism and not racists” position people take. Blame the racists.
I appreciate you took the time to type that much out, but I don’t agree. A lot of those headlines and instances are made up (like The Rock one) or a very anamolous outlier. Education institutes in Australia are pretty liberal. That’s despite a conservative government that whinges about this sort of stuff all the time and just uses it as a smokescreen to continue pushing racist and phobic policies. Like, a lot of that stuff is just myth and when you research it. We get stories all the time like that over here, and you research it and it turns out no, people don’t really want anyone with earrings to be expelled or whatever.
Eh, I’m your own time, if these things upset you, I recommend really researching them and finding out whether or not that’s an actual thing that’s happening and what the actual scenario is and what is actually driving it. Like, is a professor being fired because of unreasonable students, or because they have been continuously asked to address students by their preferred names, etc., and received multiple warnings from a private institute. Is someone being criticised because they are wearing earrings, or because when they were explained why those earrings might not be appropriate for an event, they scoffed and wore them anyway? You’d be surprised how much is there to make valid points seem ridiculous.
I didn't grow up with my father around and I'm not a news paper or meme guy but you did show an actual example of a cop-out with that last sentence. If you think discrimination is as prevalent or even important enough to be offended by, you are adding to it. Being offended doesn't help fix anything except one's feelings.
If you think racism is important then you are racist? Awesome point. And you still can’t mention one thing that people are apparently offended by despite them apparently being offended by everything.

Tom Magee defeated Terry Gibbs
Brad Rheinghans defeated Jimmy Jack Funk
The Islanders defeated Don Muraco & Bob Orton Jr.
Brutus Beefcake defeated Johnny V (sub. for Adrian Adonis) via submission with the sleeper
Koko B. Ware pinned Danny Davis
Hercules pinned Billy Jack Haynes in a chain match by wrapping Haynes legs in the chain and using the ropes for leverage

It does sound interesting but I'd lean more towards no since in terms of Good/Classic finale, Mania 17 or Mania 20 fits better based on how things went afterwards.
At the time, Mania XXX did feel like a "passing of the torch" and should have been from the Cena era and Taker Mania era but WWE just doubled down on their stubbornness that started with the Cena era.

Apparently the biggest and most influential supporter for WWE within NBC and USA Network was recently demoted by NBC.
Went from being the head of NBC to now just being in charge of their new digital streaming branch as part of a recent shakeup of leadership in the company.
Bonnie Hammer, who was the key person involved in making the call to bring WWE back from Spike to USA at the end of 2005, is no longer in charge of NBC Universal and will now be in charge of the company's new streaming service in her new role of Chairman of Direct-to-Consumer and Digital Entertainment at NBCU.
Hammer has been a close ally of WWE during its run on the USA Network ... She will be replaced by Mark Lazarus, who has a long history in the NBC empire as well as being the former President of Turner Entertainment Group. It will be interesting to see if Hammer leaving her current role has any affect on NBCU's relationship with WWE

I was reading somewhere about how tough Monday nights really are for television, and they suggested that if WWE weren’t so attached to Mondays, getting Raw onto Tuesdays would actually probably be a good move for them. I’ve never thought about that because I’ve never considered WWE being willing to do that.

I meant as a primary mode of getting their programming out, Simple. And the WWE Network housing Raw and SmackDown more than halves their audience, and with a whole bunch of OTT services about to come out, the WWE Network's numbers are going to be interesting to track. Last I was reading it's seemed like it's very much plateaued, and that's with them being quiet about the number of paid subscribers they have.
Disney will be a major one, but WarnerMedia have one coming out too. WWE were in fairly early, but I don't know how they will thrive in a market that is about to get more crowded as priorities are drawn.

That's right now. As more sports head towards streaming services, that could very well change. I don't have the stats on the UFC app, but they still run PPVs. I imagine that if they took PPVs in-house they'd drive their business up considerably. And we don't know how many people pay for the WWE Network. They don't reveal that information, which you imagine they would if it were something to brag about. Right now they need television.

After having a million surprise entrants last year, I'm kinda intrigued to see how they pad out the Women's Rumble this time around.
There are currently 15 women announced. I figure Charlotte, Nia, Tamina, Lana, and Dana Brooke will be in and bring it up to 20...and they'll probably include Nikki Cross and Lacey Evans as well now that they're "called up" to get to 22.
Still, that leaves nearly a third of the match opened. Last year they included the Mae Young Classic winner and the NXT Women's Champion, so if that sets a precedent, it would bode well for Toni Storm and Shayna Baszler/Bianca Belair.
Nothing against the Trishes or Litas but it'd be cool to get a few unexpected cameos.
Emperor Smeat

Could see them split the remaining 8 into 4 from NXT & NXT UK and the other 4 from past eras.
Only problem with the past era reps is you know your going to get some combo of Michelle McCool, Brie Bella, and Nikki Bella so that could leave as little as just 1 surprise spot left if its an even split.
Mr. Nerfect
01-16-2019, 01:34 AM
Michelle McCool and Nikki Bella are likely to be two. I see Brie sitting this out for some reason. Rhea Ripley will be in, I believe. Io Shirai would be a fun addition. I can see Kairi Sane sitting it out for variety reasons. I see Kacy Catanzaro doing her scale into the ring for this as a random appearance. Three spots left...how about Killer Kelly, Deonna Purrazzo and Taynara Conti. I can see them wanting to have a bunch of "foreign" talent in. Jazzy Gabert would be fun, but they haven't used her on TV in an active role yet.
WWE has had plans to do Finn Balor vs. WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view going back to November, despite the build to Braun Strowman vs. Lesnar, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio.
Vince McMahon reportedly started having second thoughts on Strowman vs. Lesnar coming out of Crown Jewel in November, according to Meltzer. The idea was to have Lesnar go over Strowman at the Rumble, building to Seth Rollins vs. Lesnar at WrestleMania 35. Vince felt at one point that Strowman vs. Lesnar was not a good idea because Strowman had started cooling off some. WWE had to do the injury angle with Strowman because he legitimately needed elbow surgery, but the feeling was that this hurt him some more. Vince also felt like they couldn’t afford to beat Strowman again and their choices were to have Strowman win the title, which was not an option, have a bad finish in the match, but they didn’t want to do that either, or not do the match at all, which is what they went with.
They ended up going with Balor at Lesnar’s next challenger due to the ongoing roster depth issues. Lesnar has actually wanted to work with Balor for more than a year but their match was nixed because Vince reportedly did not think Balor was over enough. Lesnar prefers to work with guys like Balor, AJ Styles and current WWE Champion Daniel Bryan because he feels like he has his best matches with guys like them.
WWE continued to advertise Lesnar vs. Strowman to help move tickets, because this year’s Rumble pay-per-view is taking place at a baseball stadium – Chase Field in Phoenix.
In regards to Strowman’s future, PWInsider noted that the move was done to protect him. There was an internal feeling that another loss for Strowman would have hurt his momentum, and his long-term viability as a top star. There was also a feeling that Balor vs. Lesnar would make for a better story and a better match for the Rumble.
It’s being reported that Strowman is still not 100% cleared for in-ring action, and there’s no word yet on if he will be put in the 30-man Royal Rumble match, if he’s cleared in time for the pay-per-view. Strowman’s last real match was on the November 19, 2018 edition of RAW, where he was written out of storylines after an attack by Baron Corbin, Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre. He had elbow surgery the following week, and it was believed at the time that he would be ready to return to action by The Rumble.
Ok, now I get it.

I say you're looking at this from the wrong angle.
It isn't so much that they're going to appear from nowhere and unseat the WWE machine to become king dick of wrestling mountain, it is that this is hopefully the pendulum swinging the other way and becoming the momentum tilting away from them just being complacent; as WWE not being percieved as "the only game in town", yet not having to go clear to Japan.
They can't just sign folks simply to keep them from other places because they have the most to offer. They have gotten so used to being the be-all, end-all for a career that they aren't used to guys having the option to not only say "nah, I'm good", but actually following up on that.
There was a post somewhere about "not having a robust roster" and "not thinking Finn Balor was over enough"... and that is part of the same hole they dug for themselves. They make the guy look like an asshole, and then wonder why he isn't an instant rockstar. There are a bunch of guys on both RAW and Smackdown that aren't doing a damn thing, and some of the ones that are, aren't doing anything worth mentioning. If some of the ones - plural - who are unhappy can pack their bags and ply their trade elsewhere without it coming with a substantial drop in pay, it will hopefully light that fire back at Titan Towers to step some quality back up.
WWE is still the big dog, but when you're surrounded by a bunch of smaller puppies who are starting to grow teeth, you need to take a little more care about where you step.
Does everyone think WWE is about to fold like WCW and AEW is going to just swoop in that vaccum and be that brand? Of course not. That's foolish. But They've clearly got the money and the plan and possibly even the following to be another brand with some success. The fact that they've treated TNA/iMPACT like a non-entity, but now are kinda shook about AEW being a thing is really all that is neccessary for things to flow in the correct direction.

If they're going to challenge Vince in any way, then it's going to be on this front. If AEW starts treating wrestlers like human beings, that's going to be a big factor (in addition to the pay). Top talent will go, so Vince will either a) take hits or b) need to change his entire structure to retain talent. That and bringing up the topic of women's pay in wrestling is going to be what makes Vince break budget, which is going to be a conversation with investors.
And when those TV contracts come up, if AEW has a large enough presence and is running as far more cost-effective programming, it is going to affect how much Vince McMahon will be able to ask for. WWE makes way more than their operating costs from TV, which is why they are making record profits despite sucking in basically every other metric. If AEW only needs, say, a $50 million TV deal to be running at a comfortable enough profit for the Khans, then undercutting Vince's asking price means that a few people might scratch their heads and say "Ummm...nah." If/when those profit margins drop, investors are going to be asking why. It's not like this will cripple WWE, but they may not have "record profit years" and take enough of a hit that they need to do a little belt tightening in certain areas to make what they are getting stretch further.
Wrestlers are about to have options, which means they are going to have autonomy and be able to fight for it with Vince, who has basically been able to hand guys scripts and dictate the narrative for the past 20 years.
It's not like AEW is going to get a 5.0 rating and suddenly Vince will be on the streets. No one is saying that. But with a good cable deal and promotion that allows them visibility, there is no reason a completely fresh product that doesn't have old wrestling stigma can't catch fire, within certain parameters, and provide options for wrestlers and sponsors that force Vince to actually give a shit and listen to the fan-base he has cultivated, at the very least.

Apparently Major League Wrestling is taking a page from the LOLTNA era of TNA/Impact with how they have been handling things since their revival. Also a page from WWE for pettiness as a company.
Besides some questionable booking affecting shows, seems their contracts might not actually be legally binding or whenever they claim someone is signed, turns out its more like a handshake agreement. Lost Rush, Shane Strickland, and now about to lose the Lucha Bros because of that reason. Only reason Lucha Bros are still in MLW is due to certain terms in their LU contracts since they never signed a real deal with MLW.
Also starting to become petty towards other companies after it was exposed their CEO has been lying about the status of certain wrestlers and plans to work with other companies. Someone managed to dig up what the going rate for a top tier MLW contract is and supposedly its $150 per show for 2 years which is why they've struggled to lock down big name indie stars.

This, a thousand times. Becky vs Rhonda has that special feel to it. Feel like making it a triple threat would diminish that somewhat.
Exactly. But I also think WWE is salivating at the thought of a "big fight" between the 3 women they actually kinda care about
Mr. Nerfect
01-17-2019, 05:59 AM
That’s if they really do care about Becky. There’s nothing incoherent about your reasoning, but I’ve got a feeling that Becky has been kept up there because they know if they shaft her fans won’t accept Charlotte.

I find it weird that they're higher on Charlotte than they ever were on her far more charismatic father -- even when he won the championship.
To be fair, Flair in his prime was only in WWE for like a year or two and the rest of the time we had The Nature Elder.

Has there ever been anyone as consistently good as Jericho for as long a length of time as he has? The dude has been one of the best in the world for over 2 decades now.
Mr. Nerfect
01-18-2019, 09:16 PM
He's had slumps. I do love me some Jericho, but there have been periods where he has been just around. He gets credit for constantly reinventing himself, but there were really only a few modes of Jericho. There was plucky babyface and whiny heel for years. He changed it up in 2008 when he became "No Country" Jericho, but List Jericho was really just a blend between No Country and Whiny. New Japan Jericho does feel like a genuine evolution. He's an old salty bastard/brawler and I love that.
Jushin Liger has been wrestling pretty consistently and has always been up to some standard. I think he's got a good six years on Jericho. Yuji Nagata has been going pretty close to what Jericho has. The same with Satoshi Kojima and Hiroyoshi Tenzan. I mean, their level compared to Jericho is debatable, but they are definitely "very good." I'm sure there are some Mexican guys that can compete with that too. Hell, you might be able to find a great 20-year period for Jerry Lawler too.
It's an elite group, but I don't think it's quite exclusive to Jericho.

I'd argue Ric Flair pre-2003/2004.
Lacked the reinventing quality of Jericho but makes it up with arguably more quality feuds and matches over a lengthy career.

Love Jericho, but he was kinda trash in like 2005. Or whenever he was thrown in that garbage truck. Fitting at the time.
Wasn’t it Bischoff the one that got dumped in the garbage truck? Jericho got dragged/carried out when he lost his “Loser Leaves” match.

He doesn’t seem to have the healthiest habbits or attitudes outside the ring. That being said, being in WWE and having a career flash before your eyes might change that.

To be fair, Flair in his prime was only in WWE for like a year or two and the rest of the time we had The Nature Elder.

Oh my god, how amazing would it be if Shane & Miz win the SmackDown Tag Titles off Sheamus & Cesaro, which leads to The Bar splitting, and Cesaro somehow securing himself a WWE Title match against Bryan at Mania? That match could be A fucking +.
No chance of it happening, but how surreal would it be? It's not like the Bryan match is going to be put in a position where it is going to be charged with drawing.

BTW I think Brock/Balor will be fine. Brock's wanted to to work w/ him for a while which means Brock's probably also had ideas about the match and how to do it for a while.
I am expecting Lashley to be in a program with Kevin Owens once he returns.

Been watching old Monday Night Raws from the mid 90's. They used to do this weird thing whenever they taped Raw where Vince and Lawler in post-production would talk about something that happened in the news yesterday and they'd force in into the show. Like some wrestler would be getting his ass kicked and Vince would say "Aldo Montoya is getting dominated, much like the Chicago Bears yesterday. Can you believe they lost 45-0". Lol its so awkward.

Even though reports were that she dumped him because she got irritated with his shenanigans, Nikki Bella seems to have possibly developed a distributing obsession with Cena.
Even though she's mentioned in countless interviews about being in a new direction in her life, seems she actually hasn't let go of him. Gotten to the point where she admitted to contacting him whenever she goes on a date just to tell him how it went. Also going to therapy to help her jealously issues.
Meanwhile, Cena seems to be more at peace of their relationship being over.

According to Post Wrestling, John Cena's ankle injury is fake and them announcing it off screen was their backup plan due to Lars Sullivan's current health issues. Original plan was for Lars to attack Cena prior to the Rumble as a way to write Cena off the event and kick start their Mania feud.
Being speculated that if Cena ever got hurt for real in the ring, movie studios would quickly ban him from wrestling again like they did for The Rock.

I'm hopeful that Kurt Angle wins the Royal Rumble and challenges Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania. I remember watching The Greatest Royal Rumble when those two were in the ring thinking "this has to happen at WrestleMania now." They haven't touched each other since.
Have they actually built anyone up to win this years Royal Rumble? For that reason alone I think Kurt Angle might actually be a good possibility to win this thing.

God no. Angle needs to not be wrestling anymore.

Posted it in another thread but G1 Supercard at MSG might be fucked along with the DDT and Stardom shows that weekend. The Japanese guys can't be on the US New Beginning shows, hundreds of people already delayed and backlogged in getting their visas and who knows when or if this thing will end.
Ticket prices for the show were no joke, and now it might end up being a glorified ROH show. Terrible.

Says who? Roh does multiple tours per year with New Japan stars, the last being in October I think. I doubt everyones visas all expired or they all got delayed.
You may be right about the other two shows as they don't appear in the states as regularly.

While I don't know what work visa they are on, they generally don't last for more than 6 months to a year, and apparently New Japan renews them in bulk. Maybe not everyone will miss out, but I think a lot of them will.
For their sake I hope the big three can at least be clear.

I'm still excited for it.
